Hi all. John Watson.

I'm with the original batch of refugees and there's a lot of you I haven't met - a lot I probably never will. [ at this point, with everything so permanently Wild, why not be blase about being Batch Number 1? ] As a doctor, I'd like to reassure and remind you that if the medical methods on offer here make you uncomfortable, there are alternatives. There are plenty of medical professionals from various backgrounds among us, so I encourage you to ask around if you need to. Don't feel like the Sanctuary's your only option - although from what I understand a lot of us do work there now, so it's also a safe place to go even if you are wary.

On that note, I'm putting together a list— yeah, I know we all hate the L word, don't panic —of people who are either medically trained or capable of healing magic. If you fit into that, anywhere from an ability to deliver first aid to, I don't know-- magical liposuction. [ this is a thing he regrets saying as soon as it's said, the immediate frown of "??? why the fuck" appears on his face literally immediately before being smoothed forcibly away ] Get in touch. I'll need to know a few basics. Skillset, medical background, level of expertise, whether or not you're comfortable to be contacted by fellow refugees, whether or not you're comfortable to be contacted to help in an emergency. You don't need to fire it all at me in one go unless you want to, we'll have a chat. Feel free to reply privately, that's fine. Replying doesn't immediately put you on a public database, I won't be handing out your name to anybody without your permission. Thanks.

[ aaaaand with a brief pause to consider if there's anything else to add, a small hand-lift of a wave to the camera when he decides there isn't, it's John out ]


( ooc: please input your medically trained/magical healer/therapist/etc character's info into this spreadsheet if you're interested in having your character contacted for medical shenanigans! It's fine to respond to the spreadsheet without replying to this post, but ICly your character will have needed to make themselves known to John somehow to end up on this list, so we can handwave it (default, no contact necessary) or you can get in touch to work out the details! )

You're much too busy organising healers here. I quite understand.

[But yeah, like that means he's done.]

Though you said doctor, is that the same thing?

[enarms]

More or less, yes.

[veneries]

Any good?

[enarms]

Depends on the problem, but I'm good at what I do, yes.

[ a lesson in the art of how to not accidentally get stuck living the life of a GP. Never Again. ]

[veneries]

And you're willing to treat any in need? Even commoners if they've the coin?

[He already knows the answer, but nevertheless. It's a strange, strange world.]

[enarms]

I'm a private hire at the moment and I don't get a lot of time off. But if I'm needed and I'm available, yes, anyone.

[ "commoners". people come from such strange places. ]

[veneries]

I'm glad.

Where I'm from the maesters work only for the lords and those with the coin to pay them.

[enarms]

[ fucKING maesters. at least that places this willem person in a world he's at least peripherally familiar with. c h rist. ]

Well. Welcome to a new world.

[veneries]

[aw the man can be polite]

Thank you, John Watson.

[enarms]

You're welcome.

[veneries]

[He's casually browsing the replies to your post. (Mostly just what you're saying to Theon.)]

It seems we have a lot of healers among us. That's good.

We'd still have to contact you if we wanted their services though, you said?

[enarms]

Unless they come forward themselves to advertise their services, yes, until I can work out the best way to distribute information.

[veneries]

I suppose it might be dangerous having the names of all our healers available for anyone to access.

And if anything happened to you, there would be no way for others to access the list either.

[He's just thinking aloud.]

I wish I knew more about how all these magical devices worked so I could help somehow.

[enarms]

[ wow, okay there Willem. everyone's getting incredibly Extra on him in this post, Christ. he's just going to let that one slide and move right along. ]

I wouldn't worry too much. Thanks for the thought anyway.

[veneries]

Not at all. I should be thanking you for the effort you're putting in.

I wish you luck with it.

[enarms]

Cheers.
